Writer and Speaker. Challenging stereotypes around mental health.
Available through all major retailers!
Welcome! I'm Maggie.
My debut memoir SPLIT, has been out for a year now .. and it continues to break down stigmas and change the narrative around complex mental health!
​
My next memoir, Fractured Motherhood is due out towards the end of 2025 / early 2026 and traverses the topic of motherhood, raising children when you have your own with mental health challenges and breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma.
... and other things ...
While much of the rest of this year will be focused on trying to get Fractured Motherhood ready to birth, I'm still managing to get out in October during Australia's Mental Health Awareness Month. I'll be heading to the ACT, and hopefully a few great spots in between. I'll have more details as they come about my trip south!
​
And in the meantime, let's continue to share the message of SPLIT, about acceptance and normalising trauma recovery. It's out as an audiobook, epub and paperback -- so no excuses! Lets keep spreading the word!
What is being said about SPLIT ...
A rare and fascinating journey
into the origin and turmoil
of living with Multiple
Personality Disorder.
Michelle Tom, 10,000 Aftershocks
It is at times a harrowing read,
but then if it was not there would be no inspiration, no
'rising above' - the valuable gift that real-life accounts such as this have to offer us.
Dr George Blair-West, Psychiatrist and author, The Girl in The Green Dress
This is a story not only of survival but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not read another book like it.
Alan Close, Before You Met Me
SPLIT is a compelling read - brave. You have created an accessible and moving story out of the chaos and pain of complex trauma. I appreciate the beautiful structure! From the very beginning you establish trust with the reader - I felt in safe hands - no mean feat for any writer, let alone a story covering the topics you explore.
